Coffee and ChicOry.

Adulteration of food is prevalent and is just cause for complaint Cvff.c, however, seems to be rightfuly free from the charge. The mixture of chicory with the delicious beverage is generally con- dcmncd in this country, but abroad it is actually demanded. The recent cnor- nous rise in the price of coffee has at lracted a gcol deal of spc cculativc attcn- ton to its next-door ncighbor. The "black coffcc' served at many of the high-c class restaurants is sometimc cs made entirely of the root. In Germany 35 per cent of chicory is added to the coffee, and in France over 40 per cent. In the Unitel States for general use lut per cent. In almost quite all of our penal and charitable institutions tho ''coffcc" drank on the premises is made from F tasted hard-tack, rye, or peas, with a small percentage of chicory to give it a coffee fvor. Thesc are called adultera- tions, but certain y they arc not. Per haps the concoction is not lcgitimately "co1fcc" any more than a drink made of sage or boneset is "tca." Yet they are beneficial and to the very nervous of better service than if made from the coffee bean itself. Caicory is largely cultivated in Belgium and France, but the Province of M .gdcburg, in Germany, produces it the moro abuudantly. It comes in hogshcads, and the heaviest consignmcnts arc under the monogram HI. s." (Hcnry scggcrmann, famous German importer, now dcceased.) Ex- ports in caffcc making say that 15 per cent. of chicory is the requisite, and that the larger percentage used in Germany and Fran co is because of the enormous duty on coffee cxacted in those unfavored countries. In making coffee mix two kinds, Java and Mocha, (not the Rio pea berry that closely resembles Mocha,) and add 15 per cent. of chicory; break into II and we'll mix raw egg, the shell as we'll as the meat; use cold water to q boil. It is great comfort and a solacc of bitter winter morning, tickling tho susceptible palate with its delightful flavor and the olfactory nerve with it's savory fumes; and it is not so bad of a sultrY summer day drank from glass that has been it's reservoir for half an hour imbcdded in cooler of finely crushed ice. -[ New York Times.

Shop,irters in City Stores.

A f1,or- walker thoroughly DO ted on shop!iftcrs is worth $2500 or $3000 year to any ono of the larger stores. The Pinkertons of Chicago tri,d to establish a branch of this kind of detective work among the leading retail stores of St. Louis, but were not successful in the attempt. The very best of the profes- sional shoplifters do not visit any one store oftcner than probably doz.n times year. They know almost as soon as one trying to spot them that they are watched. The most successful racket they work to conceal their identity is the wearing of heavy black mourning veil. A few years ago they generally carried basket and were more easily caught. Customers in general soon became aware of the fact that any one carrying basket through store was closely shadowcd, and they dropped the habit, until day it is a hard matter to find woman with one, unless it is the hard-working German. A male shoplifter is very rare, and during my twelve years experience in St. Louis l have seen but one.

Heat as a Purifier,

Fire is thorough purifier. Two hun- dred and twelve degrees of heat, accord ing to Fahrenheit, is the lowest degree to which it is safe to expose infected meat, and as all kinds of meat are al- ways subject to moro or less disease, or worms, invisible, it may be, to common microscope, it is not safe to eat any kind, unless cooked by applying 212 deg. F. Heat is complete remedy for many things. Heat is great purifier as we'll as sweetener of food and drink. Germs of disease are lurking in many things. Water from sluggish streams pools or sloughs should never be used until boiled. It is nearly always full of dis ease or injurious animalcul@. By boiling, settlers in new countries, where pure, living water cannot at first be had, might be exempt from many protracted or even fatal diseases. When potatoes, apples and ether vegetables are rotting, the sound parts should not be eaten raw, as the fungus or disease with which they are decaying is frequently poison to the human system. And it is prob able that many of the malarial diseases, such as fever and ague, neuralgia, etc., could be avoided by strictly using cooked food, and water purified by heat. The microscope is revealing wonders in 
 the science of medicine, in anatomy, in physiology and in nearly all the natural sciences. The atomic theory is having an incre asing throng of adherents.

The "BOrn.TiredO Man.

The fellow who was born very tired grew more and more weary as he went through the haps and mishaps of child hood, the adolescence of youth and the early periol of manhood. At middle age he was the tiredest man then living. At fifty he was so utterly worn out with the simple pr ocess of existing that it oc- cured to him to calculate how many breaths he must draw if he went on living for twenty years more, and, being a man in fair preservation, there was 6 good prospect of his eaching the allotted threescorc and ten years of average man. kind.
 We'll, this tired citizen figured it out on the basis of eighteen breaths min ute, 1OsO to the hour, 9. go to the day, 9,462, 2so for year, and 1s9, 342, 800 for twenty years. The figures appalled, him, and he died Tn disgust and discour. agement at the tremend ous task of doing such an enormous amount of breathing 2. -[ Chattanooga Times.

What the Fences Cost.

The cost of all fences in the United States amounts to $1, TAT, 549. 931, or nearly equal to the interest bearing debt, and about the same as the estimated value of all the farm animals, so that fol ev>ry dollar invested in live stock an- other dollar is require for constructing protection against tho ravages upon crops. The annual repairs. together with interest on the amount invested in tho existing fences, amounted to nearly $2OO, 900, 900, and the amount of wood needed must havo been not far from 6, GOO, 900, 900 feet.

It is remarkable how small popula- ton of uncivilized Indians occupies vast areas of land. The Osages, numbering 15OO have reservation of 1, 1,50O, 900 acres. The Jowas numbering S4. hold 22S, AIS acres; 240 K;ckapoos hold 206,- 466 acres; Quawpaws, 56, 900 acres; 69 Eastern Shawnces, 13. 900 acres and 225 Kansas Indians, 100, 900 acres. The en- tire Indian territory containing over A, 900, GOO acres, has population of only 79, 900. Out of this condition of affairs grows the demand for the opening of the territory to settlement. The diff culty lies in the fact that the treaties of the government with tho Indians quar- antee to them the possession of their lands and this guarantee has been held sacrcl. It is now proposed to give each Indian family large farm and open the rest of their reservation to set. clement This would give abou. 40, 900, 900 acres to civilization. It remains to be seen whether the Indians will accept an arrangement of this kind. If allotment; in severalty are made to them they vii demand pay for the land that is open te white set lemcnt. For years, the white men or .'boomcrs" about the Indian re- serva ioI have been hungry to obtair these lands.

How the Japanese Go to Bed.

There is a great deal of difference in the beds of different people. Our beds are quite low, as you know, while French beds arc so high that step-laddcr is often provided for getting into them. German beds are furnished with fcath- CT bed to put over you, even in the warmest weather. A traveller tells about Japanese bed. It is eight or so thick silk wadded comforters piled upon the floor; upon this very ample wad- dcd coat is placed. You slip into this great coat, put your arms into the long sleeves fold it over and sleep. The pi:- low is a block of wood placed under the neck; but it feels too hard, and l carry a rubber pillow to take its place. A paper lantern is lighted all night, fol the people are much afraid of the dark.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

An ounce of mans own wit is worth ton of other peoples.
 If you desire to be held wise, be So wise as to hold your tongue.
 The crutch of time accomplishcs moro than the club of Hercules.
 An idle reason lessons the weight of the good ones you gave before.
 Advice is like castor oil; easy enough 10 give but hard enough to take.
 Choose brave employment with a naked sword throughout the world.
 That virtue which requires ever to be guarded is scarcely worth tho sentinel.
 Who never walks sav, where he secs mems tracks, makes no new discoveries.
 Men resemble the gods in nothing so much as in doing good to their fellow trcaturcs.
 The path of genius is not less ob- structcd with disappointment than that of ambition.
 As sad dreams bctokcn glad future, so may it be with tho so often torment ing dream of life when it is over.
 Of all tho riches that we hug, of all the pleasures we enjoy, we carry no more out of this world than cut of a dream.
 A great many petty trials of life would cease to trouble us if we only thought how little they will matter thousand years hence.
 V cious habits arc so odious and dc. grading that they transform the indi- vidual who practices them into an in- carnatc demon. ...-
 This tide of mans life after it once turneth and dcclineth ever runncth with a perpetual cbb and falling stream, but never fowcth again.
 Whatever the skill of any country be in sciences, it is from excellence in polite learning alone that it must cx- pcct character from posterity.

There is in Lucas county, Ohio, Bible which was preserved by being in loaf of bread. It now belongs to a MT. Schebolt, who is native of Bo- hemia, having been left to him be his grandmother. During the persecution of tho Bible readers Tn that country, all Bibles were ordered to be deliv>red ub and burnt. Those who wished to pre- serve their Bibles contrived many fer ent plans in oricr to save them. When tho authorities came to the house of Mrs. Schebolt it happened to be baking day i; when she heard them coming, she placed the Bible, carefully wrapped in batch of dough, and slowed it away in the oven to be baked.

Story of tho Woody Horse.

The allusion in Hay and Nicolay's "Life of Lincoln" the nickname "WoolJ Horse" applied to General Ere mont in the campaign of 1856 recalled to my mind a story told me by an old Washingtonian about the origin of the strange sobriquet. It seems that after Fremont had first announced 10 the world his discoveries in the great west Philadelphia snowman of tricky and speculative turn undertook to exploit Lieutenant Fremonts discoveries and at the same time make little money for himself. So he came down to Washing ton, Congress being ther in session, and hiring a shop on the avenue, proceeded to advertise and exhibit Lieutenant Fremont's woody horse, captured by tho gallant explorer in the very heart of the Rocky mountains, at the risk of his life" Of course, it was only m ordinary, everyday horse, with patches of wool stuik on. But it took, and the show man began to make money on it. Ole fine day Senator Benton, Fremont's father in-law, heard of the humbug, and started out vowing to drive it from town before evening. Taking brother sena- tor with him he marched at once on the enemy's shop. The snowman who was standing outside the door, and who knew him perfectly we'll, had the impu- dence to go right on with his lecture. He even went so far as to say to the crowd, 'Here is Lieutenant Fremonts ther-in-law-Senator Benton. Won't you walk in, Senator, and take your friend with you. It won't cost you a cent" 'Come insidc," said Benton, sternly, handing him $1 an striding in with his friend; ''where is this animal7" ''Here he is" said the snowman, begin ming at tho beginning of his lecture again. "Stop" said Benton in the tone that had often made the senate chamber ring; eff you don't take that fraud out of this town before dark I'll make you wish you had never been born." The impudence of the man was frightened out of him by Benton's severity and earnestness. 'Tll go," he said, and went that evening. But it was only to exhibit the "wooly horse' elsewhere, and to give Fremont nickname which his enemies thought particularly appro- priate. Washington Letter.
